I have a mother.
How can I say
she is no longer
with me
when I feel her
light
most days,
Everything
I know about
compassion,
forgiveness, and
generosity,
are
learned behaviours.
I had a
wonderful teacher.
Still I make
mistakes and they
are my own.
I believe
she would
understand.
It is
what mothers do.
